Athena Institute's Guides on
How to Navigate Life as a Single Woman

MESSAGE FROM DR. WINNIFRED CUTLER:

I have asked two intelligent, attractive and socially-adept young college women to adapt for their generation my Searching For Courtship principles. I heartily endorse their guides for social behavior and am proud of what they have created. (I did insert a few pointers of my own….) I hope you will find their ideas helpful; we assure you they are well-intended.

I define courtship as the process in which a man pursues a woman, asking her to schedule dates, treating her as though she were a prize (but not a possession).

Whether you are looking for a relationship, currently in a relationship, or enjoying life as a single woman, Dr. Cutler's philosophy and Code of Courtship will help you become a happy, elegant person who commands respect from all around you.

The Code of Courtship

1. Acknowledge the power of biology. Use his attraction towards you to negotiate a successful courtship.

2. Accept that your needs are legitimate.

3. Recognize the positive value of balance by combining times of solitude and reflection with an active social life.

4. Communicate your desires.

5. Strengthen your capacity for self-control by taking command of your social calendar.
